Episode 184 / Finish a sock, ignore all other WIPs, cast on new socks. 😅😂

[@karinanderson7319]

Thank you Kay, that was really fun! It's good to see you so happy and relaxed. I love your temperature blanket, and your relaxed way of looking at the project as a whole. It will be spectacular!🤗

[@loriblair7652]

Thanks for sharing your projects and life with us! It's always a joy!

[@brendapoore4873]

My friend recently was knitting your sock pattern, "Austin Socks" and I fell in love with that pattern. Now we're both knitting them. What a fun project!

[@selfishknitter]

❤ your no-stress philosophy about the temperature blanket

[@niknaiman5359]

I am usually not into the temperature blankets, but yours is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for chaining my mind about these kinds of projects! I also love that you're adding in the eyelets to indicate the change of months. It's just so beautiful.

[@CrazySockLady]

Thank you! ❤️❤️

[@ericallerton809]

Thanks Kay!,! LOVE ALL UR Socks,,!!! Doing the Rhinebeck roomies,,,and love that pattern,!!! I have quite a stash of regia,,,and it's one of my favorites,,,love your new one,,,!! Thanks for sharing all UR knitting,,, Elaine 🌷🏡🏡

[@carolg5770]

Your socks are amazing...both the finished ones and the WIPs. I have Follow Your Path on tap for my next pair. I've been really into shawl knitting and finished a shawl WIP that was hanging around since the beginning of the year. SO happy I got that done. I was at a library book sale today and snagged a bunch of Ruth Ware books. I've read one of hers and loved it. I finished "The Chain" in 3 days...and that's only reading at night....LATE into the night. It was so good though-and I hear it's gonna be made into a show for maybe Netflix so glad I read the book. Allergies are starting here too-but I do love this sunny spring weather!

[@staciehite6834]

Thanks for going into detail on the Yarnables box. Your new space is great!

[@angelahunnel9425]

I started a dk jelly roll blanket last week. I almost have 2 rows finished! I have 2 years of Homespun House patreon minis. I wasn't using them because they're so beautiful! But I really liked your idea of knitting them in a dk jelly roll blanket! ❤️

[@planty_knitty]

Your podcasts have been a God send this last month. I have been going through some tough life changes, and your podcasts have been a bright spark in my day. ❤

[@dianejordan3057]

I do so enjoy your podcasts. My favorite knitting is socks (they are just so portable). I also make beanies (also a portable project) for my son-in-law's kindergarten class. Just too fun. I recently made myself 7 different project bags (yes, I like to sew, too). I put a different pair of socks in each bag (the socks are usually at different stages of completion). I grab a bag, not knowing what sock is in it so I'm surprised each time, and just start knitting.

[@barbarashapiro4100]

I have made several pairs of Rhinebeck Roomies and love them all. Recently I finished a pair of socks using your Sock Camp Picnic pattern which is a bit more challenging and last year's Sock yarn. I really like the Riga socks you just finished. I am now knitting socks using yarn that has stripes and pools. Needless to say, these are very colorful.

[@debrademusz731]

Following your instructions to make 2 socks at a time is great. It encouraged me to venture into making 2 pair on a 60in needle , chia goo works best. Will continue to following your love for making socks as I do. Thanks. Your the best.🧶🧶🧶

[@elaineenstone6834]

A delightful episode. Love your 4 row repeat sock patterns. I use them in rotation along with a vanilla sock. 🇬🇧

[@cozymeadowknits]

I so love that you bring your knitting everywhere! I do the same but most people don't understand why i need to have it on hand at all times.😂 and I totally need to pack an emergency project in the car too! Thank you for sharing all your projects!! Cheers from the East Coast of Canada 🥰

[@CrazySockLady]

Oh yes, must always have the knitting! 😂

[@heathertucker7056]

I had to smile when you were talking about your temperature blanket as I would feel exactly like you! Some people seem so stressed about having the particular colour etc. etc. but if I ever made one I’m sure I would never, ever go back to check if I had put it in the right shade! Lovely catch-up as usual x

[@kg4824]

I love how your "mojo" has returned and your podcasts are full of your relaxed, positive vibes again (which is what attracted me to your podcasts in the first place). Thanks for the uplifting podcasts! Enjoy your new home organization and keep the needles flying, lol.

[@nancyhughes386]

Love the temperature blanket. Lovely sock FOs.

[@LindaJuneDisley]

Hi Kay, beautiful socks and congratulations to the winner. Have a wonderful week. ❤❤❤

[@williamsapril2]

I just finished some shortie socks using one main solid color and then each cuff, heel and toe was a different solid color. 7 colors from my stash. I also used the Fishlips Kiss heel. It was a fun project.

[@catherinetuwi6267]

Thanks for another great episode. I cast on a pair of colourwork socks this week. I have multiple wips, both crochet and knitting, but somehow had to have some socks on the needles to feel balanced. 😅

[@heidicantway9954]

Thank you for another video. I love watching - could be because I’m obsessed with socks too! Your “I can’t be bothered” attitude lately with projects is so inspiring. Knitting is supposed to be a fun, relaxing thing. We all have so much stress as it is and our hobbies/crafts shouldn’t be a part of that. Love it ❤️

[@CrazySockLady]

Yes!! I feel like for me within the past 6 months or so it’s become super important to me that my hobby not be something that adds stress to my life. I just want to relax and have fun when I do it!

[@graceyj7996]

Love your sit downs! Amazed at how fast you complete socks too! Thanks for sharing😊

[@caraxkins]

I love audiobooks and knitting/crocheting! You should totally try it out. If you like classics there are a lot of them in the public domain, and thus cheap or free.

[@CrazySockLady]

I’ve done audio books before but just don’t enjoy them. 🤷🏻‍♀️😆

[@marypassalacqua2490]

I love seeing all the socks! I’m saving up all my sock mojo for Summer Sock Camp, I have all my yarns picked out and ready :)

[@MarinaGvozdeva]

Love knitting socks and give them away to all my friends and colleagues 😂 best portable quick project

[@CrazySockLady]

I love that!!! I give away a lot of the ones I knit as well. It’s so fun!

[@AntisocialAuntie]

Thank you for your attitude about your temperature blanket colors! The only reason I am considering one is for the forced randomness of the finished product - now I can actually do one with my stash! Lots of love from the Pacific Northwest 🧡

[@tamamo91]

I looked up your pop of colour tutorial recently and did it for the first time on some speckled socks. Love it!

[@janetretzer4869]

Thank you, love socks too. Great ideas always!

[@jansmith7177]

Making me feel better about ignoring one of my WIPS to knit socks this week! Loving your temp blanket. With the way the temperature varies here in Ohio, I doubt you’ll run out😊. Thanks for sharing - always lifts my day. ❤

[@Pine-uc7pm]

I always enjoy your podcasts. I’m finishing a pair of vanilla socks.

[@anitawessels3932]

Ooo so many socks. Love it. Happy knitting

[@brandysears3546]

When doing the eye of partridge, try twisting all knit stitches. Looks really cool. Sending support, love, and kindness from Lexington, Michigan, USA.

[@marissas8112]

The unicorn colorway is so pretty, like cotton candy! Glad to see so~ many socks!

[@sandrasilvestri1418]

Nice. That unicorn whipped bath soap looks super cool. Pretty colorways of your new yarns. Thanks for sharing.

[@annegraheck5713]

Please look at the label for the bath product carefully before use.

[@iceangels76]

I do most of my socks now with a pop of colour on the cuff because of you. Lol But honestly, it looks so much nicer!

[@janadachingwa9234]

Love to watch your videos and enjoy seeing you knit.

[@knitty781]

Congratulations Janis Fox! Enjoy the project bag. I had surgery on Monday and I dug out my simpler knits to get them finished. I feel the plan is working well. I was working on a hat. Did I have a difficult time figuring out how to do Magic Loop? Maaaybeeee? Actually it took me about 10 minutes to figure it out, but I did. I also completed a dishcloth. I promised myself that if I got 6 projects completed, I can start a Temperature Blanket. Getting closer all the time.

[@Thestashdowndiaries]

I’ve been on a major vanilla sock kick lately and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon 😊

[@joannamartin7917]

I love that you knit soooo many socks. Such great gifts as well as so practical for everyone. ❤❤

[@kathyandgeorgestephens7504]

Love the new sock cast-ons!

[@sharonbrooks3638]

like the weekly blog. Look forward to it.

[@jeanburby6492]

Loved to see your podcast today! Love all the socks you make. Have a great week!

[@kristinahill3708]

Your Rhinebeck Roomies is such a fun pattern! I'm using your Morning Coffee socks pattern for my monthly coffee crew yarn from Mandi's Makings.

[@EvieO1950]

Casting on some socks myself today. Traveling this weekend so I need socks to work on.

[@loavesandletters]

Thanks for another lovely catch up with all of your sock projects! Spent some needed down time knitting on a baby sweater before she grows too big to wear it. Racing against a growing baby 😅

[@deannafink1297]

Kay, pretty sure your sweatshirt in video is one I have. Love it as it is so so soft. Have a great week.

[@theLogstead]

Socks are my life line lately, I feel like. I mean, I always love knitting socks, but it is just a little more right now. I cast on Socks For Dumbledore and am loving that chart! So easy on the brain ❤ and, a little addictive 😄

[@rosimom]

I’ve had to stop socks for a while to get rid of leftover scraps another way. I got tired of scrappy socks. I’m working on a scrappy mitered blanket which is kind of fun. Have a nice week.

[@happycrabknits9109]

Love the socks ❤❤❤❤ you’re such a joy to watch

[@carolinedubose5136]

We're at opposite ends of knitting!! I've gotten back into knitting dishcloths and put socks on hold!! Happy knitting!!

[@jackielaskowski4010]

I’m always blown away by how much progress you make on your projects between episodes! You’re too cool for school, Miss Kay. I want to be like you when I grow up!😂😂❤❤. Peace my friend.

[@lucieperchellet]

That unicorn colorway is so pretty! Loving the sock wips lol!

[@peggytraeg]

I just finished reading Ruth Ware's book The It Girl. I really enjoyed the plot and recommend it.

[@CrazySockLady]

That’s a good one!

[@careknitssocks]

You and Molly (from A Homespun House) totally inspired me to cast on a pair with Regia pairfect! Did I already have 2 sock wips? Sure did!😂

[@emilybettendorf9275]

Your Follow Your Path pattern has 2x2 ribbing. I cast some on today 🎉 got on KZbin to watch your German twisted rib tutorial and your video was in my notifications! Awesome happy surprise 😊 always love your videos! Thanks for sharing. Have a great rest of your week!

[@vadec5909]

I love all your socks!! The unicorn is a lovely color. I should start another pair to. It was a nice little podcast. Thank you for taking the time

[@maureenm6679]

I enjoyed this podcast very much! I want to try the Regia pairfect! Thanks for sharing.

[@CryptidLuna]

Because of you I’ve really been wanting to try DPNs for socks even though I told myself I would never want to use DPNs haha

[@knittynanc]

Thank you for your video! I always look foward to seeing what your knitting. And reading haha. I finished Dark Dark Wood yesterday. Really good book! Last weekend we went wine tasting and I scored 4 skeins of Lang Super Soxx at a tiny little yarn shop! We are going on a 7 night cruise next weekend and vanilla socks will be my go to project! Of course I always think I will get more done then I do but I like to pack extra skeins just in case!

[@CrazySockLady]

That sounds like so much fun!

[@emilydobbins5154]

That many grams of yarn knit so far is insane! That's over 10 POUNDS Of yarn!! 😳👏👏

[@MyParamedicAfterLife]

I love the Pop of Color on the socks. I've been doing some at the beginning of the cuff, and some socks get the pop at rows 5-10. It's been my new sock obsession, thanks to your videos.

[@egoreknits]

Love seeing your WIPs.

[@mandyhague6363]

Such pretty socks.👍😊🧶

[@josiejocreates]

Love all of your socks, Kay! 💕

[@jennydawson1281]

I love the temperature blanket I’m thinking of starting one on the summer solstice, was too late to party for new year . I really just knit socks it’s supposed to be summer here in the uk 🇬🇧 so I’m all into the shorties again .

[@marciathomas8702]

Love all your projects. Love all the yarns and patterns. Yes s3 of sinners..weird.

[@lindapayne9474]

Thank you for sharing all that you do. You have released my stress about finishing one project before starting another😂 I have started a jellyroll blanket and a pair of socks. I now have 4 wips. Next to try more hat and mitten sets! How do you block mittens and hats?

[@jackhopkins5402]

Love your Christmas socks. I think I would do 1 day a week on the treadmill so that I could knit up some of the dish cloth yarn. Lynda

[@CrazySockLady]

I’m actually on the treadmill 7 days a week, but I’m no longer walking on it. I’m running. So I can’t knit and run. ☺️

[@janec9038]

Loved your podcast today. You inspire me so much to keep on knitting socks! ❣️🧶

[@dianegiannini8968]

I am using a set of carbonz US 1 circurlar needles I bought when I was on travel with a friend. I love them and am finishing up a pair of socks for a friend.

[@GazalKnits]

I love watching your podcast, and this is the first time I put a comment. I really like your designs and your work, especially in blankets and socks. You are very creative.

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

I downloaded the dark dark woods on Audiobooks and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@brandiabla7653]

Always love to see when you have a new episode! I have been trying to decide which pattern to use on my very first yarnable subscription. I love the unicorn colors!!! I’m pretty sure I have your rine back roomies pattern. I’ve bought a few of yours…all are so great! I’m actually going to make them for me, as 90% of my knits are gifts…so many knitworthy people in my life, never enough time😂…luv you girl!!! Ps: your making me want to set back up my gym, I have all the things spread out in our house

[@karenmallory282]

I like to start a temperature blanket next year.

[@noreenlou]

😅definitely enjoyed the catch up

[@carolinelaplante5857]

So many beautiful socks ❤

[@tammyschniers569]

Love the finished socks!

[@michelebeach5507]

Happiness is new sock needles

[@cynthiaspear-duncan7661]

The Christmas Eve cast ons are gorgeous

[@carolynhannah8757]

I always look forward to your utube videos

[@sandiemullin2304]

I'm learning to do a sock using your 9" circular tutorial. So easy to follow! I've noticed that you vary from using magic loop to dpns to 9" circular fairly frequently. I'm curious about how you decide which type of needle to use. Is it just whim or a planned rotation? Or, just a whim? lol

[@CrazySockLady]

I just do whatever I’m in the mood for when I cast on ❤️

[@saltcityknits]

Great episode as always! Have you announced information for summer sock camp and I’ve just missed it? I love your stats section. I want to start tracking like that.

[@CrazySockLady]

There is a video with a summer sock camp announcement

[@stacycharles9234]

I got my yarnable yesterday! Everything was wonderful as usual

[@Teresakloeppel]

I love my yarnable subscription box.

[@janispainter3135]

Your video feels like visiting with a Knitty friend!

[@12cspence]

I ordered the dark and stormy April surprise from hypnotic yarn. Caked it up and haven’t cast on yet but planning to do the battle of hogwarts socks 😊

[@KristinWhitehead]

Now you have me.wanting to buy some Regia yarn!! Those socks turned out so nice!

[@gailhoogmoed6601]

Love your podcasts and you just inspire me to cast on another pair of sacks...gonna try using flexiflips😮Also I missed the winner of the last drawing for the canraberry bag.

[@CrazySockLady]

The winner is announced in this video. ❤️

[@gailhoogmoed6601]

​@@CrazySockLady Sorry Kay,I watched twice but didn't catch the winner.

[@gailhoogmoed6601]

Sorry again, I do see that it was Janis Fox... Congrats to Janis😊

[@peggytraeg]

When do you decide to use a circular needle vs DPN for knitting socks? Thank you for your podcast!

[@CrazySockLady]

I just choose whatever I’m in the mood for.

[@peggytraeg]

@@CrazySockLady That makes sense. Thanks.

[@LittlePrairieLibrary]

I have a pair of Rhinebeck Roomies going right now and I'm super enjoying it too! It is such an addictive pattern. Next cast-on is going to be Follow Your Path since I haven't done that one yet ;) Last summer/fall I was obsessed with your Morning Coffee socks and knit like 4 pairs in a row lol.

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello from St.Louis Missouri!

[@chickirockx101]

i may I been inspired to purchase and cast on a pair of Regia Pairfect! it will be the first pair of socks I make for myself!

[@CrazySockLady]

So exciting that will be your first pair of socks for yourself! Enjoy!

[@debdouglas7345]

Your socks are beautiful Kay😊❤

[@bettyhakucsa6297]

Is there any updates for summer sock camp

[@marybethringland3510]

Love all the socks

[@mirabellaocean2927]

I want to be a sock knitter, but the yarn stores around me only carry half sizes 2mm, 2,5mm, 3mm and so on. When i knit garments my gauge only changes by 1stitch with every half size so i would think 2,25mm wouldn't be that different, but i have never knit socks so i don't know is it much different.? Do i need to order 2,25mm online or could i just buy 2mm from my local? So confused, any guidance would be appreciated! 😅

[@lionessemk.3804]

You just made my day ! ❤ Exactly what I needed. I am happy now and will start listen to dark dark wood audiobook.

[@_KarenS]

Are the finished Regia Pairfect socks from Arne and Carlos? I'm on a mini-mission to collect - and knit - all of the more-purple-leaning colourways of that range... I have two so far that will be knit during SSC/Yarnia's Sock Bingo/Knitty Natty's Sock Week.

[@CrazySockLady]

Yep they are

[@nataliejaggi387]

Always ignore any other WIPs that aren't socks! Hahaha
